@RedWhitePodcast I’ve sat through some embarrassing demoralizing games of State basketball and football but I don’t think I’ve ever felt this embarrassed as a state fan. Tops the Gio punt return no question. That one felt inevitable. This was absolutely avoidable
@HTBAnthony Yep you’re right we should completely ignore this huge story happening at a big, national brand name school 20 miles away that we play every year. Why should we care?! For being such a big brother, you guys get really upset when little brother says you’re lame
@UNC_and_CFB Why isn’t this being framed as a lack of support for Bill Belichick? Or an indication that UNC football isn’t an attractive marketing partner?
@cornbreadcowboi 2000-2012 was the golden era. Slow decline after that. Still fun after that but too much TV involved, every game takes 3+hours and the game revolves around the broadcast not vice versa. A game will have more discussion of playoff picture than the game at hand
@bivpack Plus I’d almost rather spend Labor Day weekend at the beach, watching us play at Texas on opening weekend. Can’t be worse than what we saw on Saturday. Maybe you sneak up and beat an Auburn. Then get back to the dogshit conference schedule of Cuse, BC, Cal etc
@bivpack Make the non conf schedule interesting. 1 home game vs a ECU/App, then 3 on the road vs BIG names. Focus on just making a bowl. Being 8-4 with 3 wins over 2 MAC teams and an FCS is useless, might as well be 6-6 with losses to Bama, UGA, Tenn etc. Just be a buy game and make money
@JEPopeIV Tired of getting kicked around by our peers like this. Dave’s lost 22 ACC games by >2 scores. Amato for all his faults only lost 3 games that way. “It’s all losses what does it matter” some say, but getting stuffed in a locker on ESPN kills program morale and national perception
@RedWhitePodcast Aside from just winning, whats our brand improvement plan? What realistic moves change how our athletic program is viewed nationally? Not arguing your point, it’s just talked about ad nauseam by people who have an unrealistic perception of our beloved school
@PackChat1887 We’ve had our moments for sure like ‘02. The last few away crowds I’ve seen at UVA, VT, even ECU were lackluster showings. I don’t think it’s just us doing this - it’s just a different time. Not as much fan interest in spending $ traveling for teams that likely won’t make the CFP
@makedowdyrowdy Kind of misleading number since a lot of wins over cincy, UofL, ucf, UH from CUSA days aren’t the same as beating Miami or WVU. Would still bet you have the most though
Was at the ECU/Bama game in 98. Bama stepped out on blocked PAT return, no call, ECU lost by 1, got hosed
@statefansnation But then again with a 24 team playoff with different setup of bids, my mind could change. Similarly I’d care more about a bowl win if there were only 6-8 bowls outside of the playoff. Something to hang a hat on
@statefansnation I think for teams like State who won’t sniff a natty, winning the conf is/was the main goal. Not quite like Duke winning it at 7-5 but I’d *almost* rather go 10-3 + win the ACC with no playoff than make it in as an at large 12seed and get smoked
@nba__whiteboy A lot of people with the net worth of a middle school bake sale talking bout Ole Miss and NC State being broke. Sports fandom is pathetic sometimes
